Francis Kamande, chair of the National Cooperative Housing Union.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has been advised to use the cooperative model to realise his push to build 500,000 low and middle cost housing units by 2022.

“It has reached a point where he has to ask himself whether it is possible to deliver the units with two budgets (2020/21 and 2021/22) to implement before he retires. And the whole project by 2022 require Sh400 billion,” says Francis Kamande, chair, National Cooperative Housing Union.
